Android Security – Choose Wisely – You Could Lose Your Phone Numbers

Android users always love to install some form of security on their smartphone , whether it is one of the big brand names ( Eg: Norton , Trend , AVG ( a big no to this one ) in the hope that it will prevent them from being infected ( It wont if you do the wrong thing ).

Last week I saw someone that had installed an app called BullGuard which decided to remove all details of contacts including their phone numbers , just leaving them with a name.

Once I removed the app , restarted the device , all the contacts returned.

If you want to stay safe and protected on Android here are some tips:

Keep the device updated

Keep the apps updated from the Google Play Store

Don’t take candy from strangers – apps only from Google Play and don’t fall for the free movies , free tv shows , free music apps or sites
